Hello and welcome! This is your host KaraCarreira.

When I first joined Wattpad almost two years ago, I knew what it was known for: fan fiction and teen fiction. Imagine my surprise when I discovered and fell in love with historical fiction! There's a growing community of authors who have the gift of bringing characters and conflicts to life in places and eras that existed long ago.

Today on The Peacock Awards, we honour our historical fiction nominees!

Firstly, let's have a round of applause for our brilliant judge, without whom this would not have been possible:
